 I went to my first seminar yesterday in Jefferson City, it felt so good to finally beable to get this behind me so I could move forward, and know what all I need to do. I do have some of the stuff done already, and have some stuff in the work's. It just blow's my mind how much stuff has to be done before you get the surgery, but I know it will all be worth it.
  

I had my sleep study last night, and feel so silly for worrying so much about it now. I do so much stuff in my sleep like walking, talking, eating, and have even smoked while I was alseep. I was really worried about what I would say or what I would do some of it can be very embarrassing. I was also worried about how I was going to sleep with all that stuff hooked to me, but I had a very good tech that made me feel so comfortable, and made sure I knew it didn't matter what I done in my sleep he had seen it all. Thing's went really well, and I'm glad it's over with. I will know in a few day's what the result's are.

I'm hoping I will be able to get as much done as possible this month in hope's of speeding up my wls. 
I have had alot of blood work done so far, but sure I will need more.
I go for my sleep study this Wednesday, which I'm really kind of nervous about. I really don't see how I will be able to sleep with all that stuff hooked to me (sleeping pill or not).
My physc testing is the 13th, and I'm not looking forward to that either, but understand it has to be done. Hope I pass.
I'm so looking forward to the support group on the 26th. I know I haven't had my surgery yet, but I want to meet and get to know people before I do. I love hearing and reading everyone's stories. 
 I will be able to fill my chantix on the 21st, and I so can't wait to leave this stupid habit behind me. I just feel so tied down to smoking, and weak for  letting it hold me back from so many thing's. I wish I would have known 24 years ago what I know now about it, but like most I was more worried about my (older) friend's and what they would think, and trying to look cool. (I have alot of if only and what if's I guess.)
I know all my bad habit's can be put away and forgotten, I just have to kick myself in the ass and do it.

I had been reading many post on here, and there was a lady that kept standing out. I knew that I knew her, but just couldn't place where I knew her from, and then it hit me. Jan the sweet lady that gave my family a HUGE gift. Jan gave me and my daughter's a wonderful little girl named Peanut, and we will always be thankful to her. Peanut is a part of our family, and I don't know what we would do without her.
Thank's again Jan.

 Trying to stop smoking cold turkey is like trying to take your bottom lip and pull it over your head,no matter how hard ya try it ain't happening. (atleast for me anyway).
 
 

I'm in the process of doing the lapband surgey. I have been doing alot of research online, and just so happened to come across this site. (I'm so glad I found it.) Everyone here seems to be so nice and friendly. I look forward to reading more of your stories, and hopefully I will be sharing some of my own as I make this journey.
